Real Hospital Português (RHP), founded in 1855, now united as a reference in healthcare throughout Brazil, celebrates its 167th anniversary this Friday, September 16th. With two divisions, one in the Paissando district, the central district of the capital of Pernambuco, and the other in Boa Viagem, in the South zone, the institution has more than six thousand employees, 3,200 doctors and several partnerships that help it guarantee its tradition in the midst of an increasingly modern and technological scenario.
But despite being a part of the lives of many people from Pernambuco, the part of the story behind his name is still unknown. It was at the age of 52 that, through the Portuguese King Dom Carlos I in 1907, a “new baptism” took place and the hospital received the word “Royal” as a title given by the nobility.
Recently, during the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, RHP again attracted attention with its strategies and the efforts of its specialists, who served patients in accordance with agreements, the Unified Health System (SUS), as well as private requests. For those who arrived via SUS and were more severely infected, the hospital managed to allocate 50 intensive care unit (ICU) beds.
For Real Hospital Português provider, Alberto Ferreira da Costa, the new phase in which the institution will begin this Friday (16th) will be the result of a combination of management and professionalism, and will highlight a sense of trust that will endure in history. faces.

We offer humane and high-quality care to our patients, which inspires confidence in our work. We have a highly qualified team, a wide structure and modern equipment, which are not found in other establishments. In the future, we will not stop being avant-garde and working hard, keeping as pillars the project to strengthen management and professionalization, while not forgetting that trust is the fundamental bond between Real Hospital Português and its patients,” said Alberto Ferreira da Costa. .
